Rey just 'okey-dokied' her way through the entire trilogy.

Congrats. Tesseract has always been very impressive.

This post suggests there's a problem with Lemmy/PeerTube federation, but it'll be good to see the videos embedded (even if they have to be brought through manually)

Decades ago, my school's drug info was similar: every drug had a single entry ('euphoria') in the Pros column and a massive list (ending with death) for the Cons column.

Fetishes are irrational by definition. They're not passed down - they come about from childhood hang-ups (no-one wants to be eaten by a bear because their father or grandfather wanted to be eaten by a bear).

Federation questions on a new server (leftopia.org)

I setup a new server a couple of days ago using the Ansible playbook, and some communities are federating successfully even though theyโ€™re labeled as โ€œsubscribe pendingโ€, and others that are not populating even though theyโ€™re labeled as โ€œjoinedโ€. See attached image....

The error you saw in your logs is due to a recently fixed bug: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4658

I saw some criticism of Netflix's 'Ripley' adaption, based on the fact that Andrew Scott is in his late 40s, so his character (and all associated characters) had to be maybe in their late 30s but not much younger. They said that a father wouldn't be as interested in him returning the USA in the same way that he would be if his son was in his early 20s (as in the 'Talented Mr. Ripley' film). I thought they could just add a line from the father, saying he'd tolerated his son galivanting around Europe until now, but now needed him home because his father was starting to consider retirement and wanted him to take over the business.

Would Lemmy Benefit from Implementing Polls? (slrpnk.net)

A popular way of dealing with discussions, and familiar to most people, I assume. As far as I see it, adding a poll system to Lemmy is a good way to enhance user engagement. Iโ€™m not really aware if this has been a topic before or not, tried looking it up but didnโ€™t see much juice on the topic, so thought Iโ€™d spark it up....

It's a proper ActivityPub feature

Let's gloat a little, What makes Lemmy/Mastodon/KBin/BlueSky and the Fediverse better than Facebook/Reddit/Twitter?

With Lemmy - I can block whomever is bothering me and I will not see their posts ever again. I can see their notifications and they somehow can keep responding to me (which ought to be worked on). But erasing their existence on my end should be a thing when you don't want to deal with them....

Preventing replies can done on some Fedivere apps (not Lemmy, yet, though, I guess). e.g.
https://i.postimg.cc/65WY3RcS/blocked-reply.jpg

As for your other points, they all sound like attempts at improving the quality of the conversation. They might not have been implemented well, but requiring a clarifying comment for a question, and blocking low-karma accounts aren't bad ideas in themselves. Lemmy, etc don't really deserve praise for not even trying to implement ideas like this at all.

(the benefits that others are mentioning in the comments have lots of validity, though, of course)

The Wasp Factory and We Need to Talk about Kevin (both have scenes of an older child abusing the trust of a younger sibling, which really bothered me at the time).

I'm not sure that it ever quite worked - the videos currently on Lemmy are likely to ones brought in manually, rather than new ones that have come in via federation.

The community copies (on lemmy.ml, endlesstalk.org, etc) all show 0 subscribers. At a guess, it's because the format of the Followers collection on PeerTube is slightly different - it doesn't have the empty 'items' array that Lemmy expects, so it just rejects it. As such, any new posts will also get rejected by Lemmy (the same way it does if a community genuinely does have 0 subscribers). A couple of Updates have come through, so maybe Updates circumvent that check.

For remote actors, it seems to mostly rely on banned users not being very imaginative when it comes to naming subsequent accounts, and/or them not being able to leave a particular subject alone.

andrew_s,
@andrew_s@piefed.social avatar

A user on an instance that's different from the instance that wants to ban them (so methods like IP logging or browser fingerprinting or whatever wouldn't be available).

It does, yes. When you make a post or comment, there's a tick-box with 'Notify about replies'. It's ticked by default, but unticking it before you submit means you won't get notification about replies.

After that, you can change the status using the same bell icon that you use for other people's content. To subscribe to your post, I'd change the bell from struck-through to clear, and to unsubscribe to my own post, I'd change the bell from clear to struck-through.

andrew_s,
@andrew_s@piefed.social avatar

It does. This reply is from PieFed, and the vast majority of the content here has come from Lemmy via ActivityPub.

andrew_s,
@andrew_s@piefed.social avatar

Not yet, no. There's no API for clients like Boost to interact with. There's some discussion about one here

All the scene releases for this are from the Blu-Ray, weirdly enough. There doesn't seem to be an official platform to stream it from.

'Sugar' is okay. It has a particular editing style that takes a while to get used to. Each episode is only about 30 minutes, so that makes a nice change. He's just told someone that he has a secret, and if it's not "We're all aliens", I'm going to be disappointed.

I think I'm going to give up on 'The Sympathizer'. I've realised I've little tolerance for an actor playing more than one part. Robert Downey Jr. has just shown up as his third character, and it's not he's particularly known for being a chameleon. I find it gimmicky and distracting.

'Taskmaster (UK)' is on tonight. Yay!

Have you been playing with language settings? This post is in 'Akan', but your previous posts are a mix of 'English' and 'Undefined'.

If you've removed 'English' as a language you understand, the posts from 3 hours and 3 days ago won't be visible to you.

I think it's typically hidden by UIs for privacy reasons, but you could see it via something like:
curl --header 'accept: application/activity+json' --location <a href="https://sopuli.xyz/u/cyrus" rel="nofollow ugc" target="_blank">https://sopuli.xyz/u/cyrus</a> | jq -r .matrixUserId
or
curl --header 'accept: application/json' '<a href="https://sopuli.xyz/api/v3/user?username=cyrus'" rel="nofollow ugc" target="_blank">https://sopuli.xyz/api/v3/user?username=cyrus'</a> | jq -r .person_view.person.matrix_user_id

As the other comment says, backends hook into Matrix if someone uses the 'Send Secure Message' option to contact you (I don't think that option shows if you don't both have a Matrix ID).

The meme is riffing on the criticism that Star Wars has become too self-referential. That modern Star Wars are inspired only by earlier iterations of Star Wars, rather than the more diverse list of inspirations for the original film. It's not a comment on the quality of the PT.
